Chapter 162 Visiting Sister-in-law
Without time to think deeply, Shen Jiaojiao hurried to the front yard with her three maids.

As soon as he arrived at Chuihua Gate, he was stopped by Yuzhu.

"Miss, the young master please come out of the house."

With that said, he was about to lead her to a carriage ride.

"Leaving the house? Where to go?"

She stood still, looking dazed.

Before Yuzhu made it clear, she would not move any further.

"Didn't the young master tell you?" Yuzhu asked doubtfully. Without waiting for her answer, he continued: "My wife made an appointment for the young master with the second lady of the Jiang family. Thinking that you are familiar with the second lady of the Jiang family, she..."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she looked at Yuzhu in disbelief.

"Sister-in-law wants to see Jiang Yi?"

After avoiding others, Yuzhu's expression changed, from initial indifference to worry.

She looked down at her clothes and then at Yuzhu.

"Are you going too?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"Yes, the young master got up early today and dressed up specially before coming to the front yard."

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and said nothing.

Ke Xin, who was behind, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Sister Yuzhu, is the eldest young master really so interested in you? Does he want to marry the second young lady of the Jiang family?"

"Jiaojiao, since you call me sister, I can't just sit idly by and ignore you." Yuzhu said with a serious face, "You have had skin-to-skin contact with the young master. What will you do if the young master marries a wife?"

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and looked around, but she didn't dare to look at Yuzhu.

With that said, he pulled Shen Jiaojiao to the corner to talk.

"No, Sister Yuzhu, you are thinking too much."

She and her stepbrother are not just at odds with each other...

"If you have an argument, just talk it over and make peace. How can you push someone out? Is it possible that you still want to keep an eye on him? Are you looking at your future sister-in-law?"

Yuzhu didn't know what he thought of, so he covered his mouth and smiled, then looked her up and down.

Even Yuzhu is dressed more colorfully than her...

Yuzhu turned his head and glanced at Kexin, then nodded gently, "How can it be false?"

Yuzhu nodded, "The young master asked me to come and have a look. After all, she is the future mistress of the Meng family."

"Miss, tell me carefully, are you and the young master at odds with each other?"

Yuzhu has watched Shen Jiaojiao grow up since he was a child, and the two have a very close relationship.

"Why is the eldest lady dressed so plainly? Are you afraid of stealing the limelight from Second Miss Jiang?"

She said these words because she couldn't stand it.

No, when did my sworn brother ever dress up deliberately? There are only black clothes in his wardrobe!

When Yuzhu saw her passively evading, he immediately got angry and said, "Do you really want to watch him get married?"

She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.

"You!" Yuzhu hated the iron, "What about you? What should you do? Chen Yuanli even turned out to be a bastard, do you really want to waste your life with him?"

"Sister Yuzhu, please stop talking. I...I know what I am doing." She reached out and held Yuzhu's hand, her fingertips were cold.

Yuzhu was so angry that he wanted to throw her away, but couldn't bear it, so he quickly put her hand in his palm to warm her.

Her heart warmed slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"In short, it is impossible for me and my sworn brother. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Let's go out quickly. Don't keep Miss Jiang Second in a hurry."

Seeing that Yuzhu refused to listen to her advice, she had to give up.

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Jiaojiao returned to her maids and asked Ke Xin and Keying to go out together.

Aoxue has to deliver news to Mo Gan today, so it's not easy to keep it in front of her.

When I walked out of the gate of Meng Mansion, I saw two carriages parked in front of the screen wall.

The carriage behind is hers.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the back without looking back.

Unexpectedly, the curtain of the carriage in front opened.

An indifferent face appeared from behind the curtain, with sharp eyebrows and deep eyes.

He rarely wore dark red clothes, which made him cold and noble, like a banished immortal descending to earth.

"Yi, sworn brother..."

Shen Jiaojiao looked over in surprise, a flash of surprise flashed through her eyes.

She had never seen her adopted brother wearing red.

What a true master Yan Ruyu!

The man lowered his eyes and looked at her lightly.

"Come up." As soon as the voice fell, the curtains suddenly dropped, covering that handsome face.

Shen Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose, not wanting to ride in a carriage with her adopted brother, and quickly turned her eyes to Yuzhu for help.

Yuzhu shook his head helplessly and motioned for her to get on the carriage.

After hesitating for a long time, but not daring to disobey her sworn brother, she slowly boarded the more luxurious carriage in front of her.

Yuzhu stood aside and opened the door curtain for her.

She took a deep breath and walked in.

Meng Hui was sitting inside, and when he saw her coming in, he just nodded slightly.

Shen Jiaojiao found a corner farthest away from him and sat down.

The man raised his lips and smiled, "Sit so far away?"

"Sit down wherever you like." Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and replied cautiously.

"Did Yuzhu tell you everything?"

"said."

"You knew already?"

"Yes." She nodded, but fearing that her step-brother would think she was perfunctory, she added, "Jiaojiao hopes that my step-brother will be able to embrace this beauty today."

Meng Hui's eyes darkened and his thin lips pursed tightly.

His eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao, and when he saw her huddled in the corner, terrified of him, the man's expression became more serious.

After a while, he said calmly: "Thank you."

Yuzhu knocked on the car outside and asked softly, "Master, everything is ready."

"Let's go." Meng Hui said.

After receiving the order, the coachman immediately drove the carriage into the bustling market.

The wheels rolled forward, suppressing the hustle and bustle along the way.

In stark contrast to the excitement outside, was the weird atmosphere inside the carriage.

The carriage was very quiet. Meng Hui was sitting on the right side of the middle. There was a tea table in front of him, and he was patiently making tea.

Shen Jiaojiao sat opposite him, to the left, next to Che Bi, as if to distance herself from him.

The faint fragrance of tea spreads.

After the tea was brewed, he poured two cups of tea with his own hands.

Push one of them towards Shen Jiaojiao.

"Drink tea."

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head, "I'm not thirsty."

She didn't dare to raise her head, and couldn't see what was happening on the other side. She was only vaguely aware of an indifferent and distant gaze hovering over her body.

She knew that her stepbrother was sizing her up.

Meng Hui did not dissuade him and just drank tea on his own.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Seeing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Shen Jiaojiao began to feel anxious.

She hasn't asked her adopted brother what happened last night!

When he meets Jiang Yi, how can he still have the chance to speak?
Thinking of this, she quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Hui, and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Yi, sworn brother..."

After waiting for a moment, without waiting for the man's response, she could only look up again.

Unexpectedly, she caught the man's gaze.

Indifferent, cold, aloof...

She lowered her head in fear and did not dare to look again.

"Say." The man's voice was very cold.

She asked bravely: "Did you... go to the Pearl Courtyard last night?"

After asking, I felt that what I said was not accurate enough, so I quickly added.

"Kexin Keying from my courtyard said that you entered my east chamber last night and were with me...with me...in there..."

I couldn't say what I said next.

The situation Ke Ying described was too weird. She actually said that she was crying and begging for her adoptive brother...

Why would she cry and beg for her adoptive brother?
There must be a misunderstanding here!

Either her adopted brother drugged her.

Meng Hui lazily opened his eyelids and stared at her, "Yes, I'm going."

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, her sworn brother's attitude... was completely different from what she thought.

No, how could he still be so confident?
